Abstract:
An axe which is particularly suited for splitting logs endwise comprises a head assembly having a blade member pivotally mounting a pair of links adapted to engage the wood for augmenting the splitting action when strikers carried on the head member engage the links and pivot the same. A compression spring is interposed between the blade member and the head member to enable the blade to penetrate the wood to a predetermined depth before the strikers engage the links.
